6) The Joker
Whether it’s in the first, second, or third movie (and common sense says it will most likely be the first), we need to see Ben Affleck’s Batman square off against Jared Leto’s Joker. Set photos have confirmed that we’ll get at least a taste of that in Suicide Squad, but there’s no way that will be enough.
An entire film devoted to these two incredible actors butting heads most definitely has the potential to rival the amazing work done by Christian Bale and Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, and enough time has passed that seeing The Joker take on a leading role here definitely wouldn’t feel at all stale.
It’s clear that there’s a lot of history between these two characters in the DC Extended Universe, so Affleck and Johns could very easily turn to the comic books for inspiration with the story they tell or come up with something entirely new.
It would, however, be a lot of fun to see an adaptation of Death of the Family, the story which saw The Joker cut off his own face, tie it back on with fishing hooks and a belt, and systematically target each member of the Bat Family as it became clear that the Clown Prince of Crime is well aware of the fact that it’s Bruce Wayne fighting crime beneath the cape and cowl.
